I've been homeless since the month of May, I work full time at Chester Zoo which can cover the cost of bills ( just about) but doesn't cover deposits and upfront fees needed for even the most basic of accomodations in Wrexham.

Asking for money in this manner is a last resort but ultimately is also my attempt at continuing to be a responsible parent. I need stability and a safe place for my child, it's near impossible and deeply heartbreaking to parent and then spend the night in a hostel.

I've made many mistakes over many years but also contributed to so much good within my community.

If everyone I've ever helped could spare £10 then maybe I can spend Christmas this year under my own roof and have my little girl unwrap presents not sentiments from a father about to tip over societies edge!
